The 40th Ryedale Festival gets underway from 15th July 2022 and concludes with a gala performance given by Royal Northern Sinfonia and trumpeter Lucienne Renaudin Vary on 31st July 2022.

Full listings for the entire programme are available via the festival brochure and website.

Happy memories from last year’s Thoroughly Good Trip to the Ryedale Festival abound flicking through the 40th festival brochure this morning. Thanks to the work of Artistic Director and pianist Chris Glynn, Ryedale builds on its growing artistic reputation.

This year sees residencies with Roderick Williams, the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, Philharmonia Baroque of San Francisco, the Maxwell Quartet and Gesualdo Six, the latter’s rise during and post-pandemic across the UK and international arts scene is a delight to see.

Highlights across the 52 concerts mix appearances from Dame Janet Baker and Stephen Kovacevich, Leeds Piano Competition winner from 2021 Alim Beisembayev, Royal Overseas League Gold Medal Winner accordionist Ryan Corbett, London Mozart Players with pianist Martin James Bartlett.

There are also six world premieres from Julian Philips, Errollyn Wallen and Tarik O’Regan, Roxanna Panufnik, Joseph Howard, Roberts Balanas and Callum Au.
